    "A Counter-History of Crime Fiction takes a new look at the evolution of crime fiction, drawing on material from the Middle Ages up to the early twentieth century, when the genre was theoretically defined as detective fiction. Considering 'criminography' as a system of interrelated, even incestuous, sub-genres, Maurizio Ascari explores the connections between modes of literature such as revenge tragedies and providential fictions, the gothic and the ghost story, urban mysteries and anarchist fiction, while taking into account the influence of pseudo-sciences such as mesmerism and criminal anthropology. The result is an inquiry into the nature of a genre whose formulaic nature has not prevented imaginative, not to say heretical, variations on the themes of crime and detection."--BOOK JACKET.

    Includes bibliographical references and index The authors and cultural formations under discussion in "From the Sublime to City Crime" are much more than the pre-modernism of detective-focused crime fiction. They testify to the strength and power of the sublime forces of both awe and fear that were potent in the early nineteenth century and have remained the dialectical dynamic of the genre, both stimulating and making exciting the containment provided by the rationalistic elements of cerebral, quasi-scientific and triumphantly individualistic detection. As these early criminographers grappled with the interface of rational discourse and subliminal passions, from the hopeful errancy of Caleb Williams to the media's attempt to confront and contain the murderous Maria Manning, as narratives from disciplinary medicine and law confronted human aberrance, as Balzac predicted the "roman noir" and 19th century Scandinavians pointed to Stieg Larsson, they all realised the deep and dangerous world of modern crime, physical and emotional, and brought the genre of crime fiction into existence in a blasted Eden - which it has never ceased to celebrate
